The only thing left for Yvonne to do was pack up and go home. When she walked to the first floor, she saw an Audi parked outside. The door opened abruptly when the person inside the car saw her.

Jared stepped out of the car. “Yvonne.”

“What are you doing here?” Yvonne asked in surprise.

“What happened to your mouth?” Jared’s expression turned sad when he saw the bruise at the corner of her mouth. “Who hit you?”

“Who hit me? Commissioner Lance’s son!” Yvonne said, laughing out loud.

“He hit you? Does that mean Zachary beat him up today because of you?”

“Yes!”

Jared was there to discuss the city development project with Yvonne. He knew all about Jackson’s plans to develop the city, and he also understood that Jackson was a capable man. There would be nothing to worry about if the city development project fell into Jackson’s hands.

However, things had changed now since Zachary had returned and caused some trouble. The Quimby family was influential, and more importantly, Yv

    “How about the twenty-fifth of next month as the engagement date? The city development tender should be settled by then!” “Alright, the twenty-fifth of next month it is.” Susan immediately agreed, and the two discussed details about Fiona and Jackson’s engagement before going their separate ways. Jackson only returned at ten o’clock that night. Jade started talking to him about the engagement when he returned. “I’ve discussed the engagement with Madam Millers today. The date was decided on the twenty-fifth of next month.” Jackson remained silent, and Jade continued coaxing him. “Jackson, Fiona is a kind, obedient girl who has suffered so much for you. You should marry her because of that. Besides, she’s Jared Summers’ daughter. No harm in marrying her.” Jackson remained silent. Jade had already grown used to her son’s silence. Ever since she had threatened him with death so that he would kick Yvonne out of the family, they had had less and less to talk to each other. Sometime

    Both parties were stunned, and Sandra was the first one to come back to her senses. With a cold smirk on her face, she spoke in a hostile tone, “Oh? If it isn’t Fiona, the mistress?”Her words caused everyone in the shop to shift their focus to Fiona, whose face had turned red. She was a well-known and respectable socialite in South City but after Sandra called her out like that, she was extremely ashamed.“It seems that your lover is going to make you his official partner soon, huh?” Sandra had a cynical look in her eyes. “Nowadays, even an unscrupulous mistress can wear a gown while acting so high and mighty. People are so devious and harsh, unlike the people in ancient times.”Fiona wanted so badly to crawl into a hole in the ground. However, Sandra did not stop there. “Has the thought never occurred to you that you’ll get retribution for wrecking a family? When a mistress likes you give birth, the child will be born with a missing body part and that’s your retribution!”“Sandra

    Her temper was still the same. She was still so strong-headed and unwilling to back down. When Jackson heard the name ‘Miller’, his body froze and he unconsciously let go of his hand.Sandra came out with her gown. Yvonne had good taste, and that gown suited her. Hence, she happily reserved the gown.When she saw the unpleasant look on Yvonne’s face, she thought it was because of Fiona. “Yvonne, let’s not stoop down to that homewrecker’s level.”Yvonne forced a smile on her face. Even though it had been three years since she left Jackson and everything had started to fade from memory, it would be impossible for her to be completely unbothered. She felt suffocated when she recalled the way Jackson treated her just now as though she was a menace. She did not want to stay here another minute more. “Sandra, let’s go.”Sandra nodded and asked the salesperson to pack the clothes. At this moment, Jackson appeared. When Sandra saw him, she was shocked. Sandra had witnessed the love between

    Mr. Johnson was stunned for a moment, and he thought he had misheard Jackson. Jackson glared at him, saying, “Tell the higher-ups in the television station that they can get our sponsor but only if they replace Sandra Willis and get her to do odd jobs!”Mr. Johnson came out of Jackson’s office with the contract, looking aggrieved. When he was in the corridor, he ran into James. “Mr. Larson, you have to help me!” Mr. Johnson stopped James and said, “Mr. Miller agreed to this sponsorship but he suddenly changed his mind. What am I going to tell the television station?”James shook his head and patted Mr. Johnson’s shoulder to comfort him. “There’s no rhyme or reason when it comes to Mr. Miller. You should do exactly as you’re told.”Mr. Johnson sighed. Indeed, he could not argue with Jackson with reason. However, the sponsorship for the television station had been a favor from his old friend.He had carefully read through the plan of the program and figured this would bring the compa

    Of course, Yvonne would not allow Sandra to suffer with her. After thinking about it, she was the main cause behind what was happening to Sandra. Hence, she had to go demand an explanation from Jackson. However, Jackson refused to pick up her calls after that.Left with no other choice, she went to Jackson’s office. However, the receptionist stopped her. “Miss, how can I help you? Do you have an appointment?”The woman who stopped Yvonne was not the one she saw last time; it was another person. Yvonne knew this woman. Three years ago, she was Jackson’s receptionist in Ocean City. Yvonne did not expect Jackson to bring her to South City three years later.Three years ago, she would kindly press the button of the elevator for her whenever she came to see Jackson. Now, she was talking to Yvonne in a very indifferent tone.Things had indeed changed. Yvonne controlled herself and said, “I want to see the president.”“Do you have an appointment? You can’t see him if you don’t.”Yvonne

    “Were you behind what happened to Sandra?” Yvonne glared at him.Jackson ignored Yvonne’s animosity. He sat down on the sofa carefreely and crossed his legs. Then, he took out a cigarette to light it.“Sandra? Who’s Sandra?” His voice was still cold and indifferent.‘Jackson smokes?’ Yvonne was shocked. Back then, she had said she hated the smell of cigarettes on men and Jackson said he was not a smoker.However, judging from his experienced posture and the smoke rings escaping his lips, Yvonne realized she had never understood this man at all.“Jackson, do you have amnesia? Are you sure you don’t know Sandra?” Yvonne was so mad she started screaming. Then, she came back to her senses.He was doing this on purpose. He was indeed the person behind what had happened to Sandra. “How despicable! You despicable vile rat!”“Despicable?” The man’s beautiful eyes turned dark. She called him despicable. ‘This damned woman!’ Jackson felt his anger rising and could not stop himself from

    She shouted the last sentence and did not wait for Jackson’s response.After Yvonne was done shouting, she pulled the door open and left. She trotted out of The Night Sky. The night was slightly windy, and she could feel her eyes tear up despite not knowing the reason why.. The private room’s door closed with a bang. When he listened to the footsteps that were hurriedly getting further away, Jackson immediately stood up and took a step but ultimately sat back on the sofa again.He pinched out the cigarette and threw it into the trash bin. He leaned back, massaging his temples with his hands. He was annoyed, and he had never been this annoyed before.He did not want to treat her like that, but when he saw her and the attitude she gave him, he failed to stop himself.He had no idea what was wrong with him. Why was he unable to control himself when he clearly knew that saying such things would only make her hate him more? He was just unable to refrain himself from saying those thin

    The car was parked at the entrance of the municipal government building. Zachary got out of the car and brought Yvonne to the front door of the municipal government building.Both of them went into the meeting room. Once the door was opened, they saw Jackson with his assistant, James. They were dressed in suits and ties, giving off an imposing air. There were other bosses and assistants who came for the bid as well. Zachary sat down, and Yvonne stood behind him when she saw that the other assistants were standing. She did not expect that Zachary would grab her and make her sit beside him.Jackson’s eyes were gloomy when he saw Zachary pull Yvonne to sit down next to him. Zachary caught a glimpse of Jackson’s unpleasant expression and lowered his voice to say to Yvonne, “Is Miller bearing ill will against me?”“Is that so?” Yvonne shot a glance at Jackson after she heard that. Jackson’s handsome eyes met hers briefly, but she coldly shifted her gaze.“Yes, Miller is looking at you w

    Jackson had to run back and forth as he had to take care of Yvonne while checking on Leo’s condition. He was most concerned about his son, although the cord blood had been successfully transplanted into his body but it was not guaranteed that everything would be fine. The doctor informed Jackson that after the cord blood was transplanted into Leo's body, he still needed to pass through the infection barrier, reposition in the body, and the rejection barrier before it could truly be considered as a successful transplant.The rejection stage might be the most difficult to overcome. The rejection reaction may occur at any time such as fever, vomiting, and difficulty in eating, diarrhea, etc. Leo had to receive medical treatment according to his condition, along with his cooperation. Once he was fully recovered, he would be sent to the general ward after 3-4 weeks.Jackson would visit his son every hour. Due to the uncertain factors, he was extremely anxious but he could not show even

    The heart-wrenching scene finally drew to a close. The umbilical cord blood transfusion was successfully completed and Leo’s heart rate returned to normal—everything seemed to have fallen back into place. Jackson could feel the weight of a boulder lifted off his chest.As soon as the doctor walked out of the transplant chamber, Jackson stepped forward and took his hand, showering him with words of gratitude.All this while, Yvonne had been trying her best to stay awake. She was dying to hear of Leo's condition post-operation, but ultimately gave in to the anesthesia and drifted off. She felt utterly drained and all she could hear was a gentle whisper by her ear—it was Jackson. “Yvonne, don’t fret,” he said, “Our child will be just fine. Rest without a worry, my dear; when you wake up, all will be well.”And so she slept. She slept for a long period of time and did not even realize that she was wheeled into the ward. In her deep slumber, she could vaguely hear familiar voices, many o

However, they did not expect to see the police standing in front of the door, both of them were then arrested and the pregnant lady was also carried out. The two realized in shock that the lady was not Yvonne, but a random stranger. “What’s happening?” Fiona pointed at the pregnant lady as she asked Donavan in a hysterical scream. “What do you mean by what happened? Didn’t you ask me to kidnap this woman?” Donavan asked.“You… How dare you deceive me?” As matters stood, Fiona had realized that she got fooled. However, it was too late for her to turn things around as the police had charged both of them for kidnapping and murder. Section 239 of the Criminal Law prescribed a minimum of 10 years of penalty in prison or life imprisonment for the crime of kidnapping for the purpose of extorting money. Furthermore, kidnapping another person as a hostage would either result in a fine or confiscation of pro

Hearing that Ella was Yvonne’s sister, she felt even more uneasy. ‘Yvonne is gone but now we have Ella? Did I get lured into this?’As Pearlie was still reeling from the news, something worse happened. Under the pressure of the Quimbys’, Pearlie’s parents made the move to terminate the marriage agreement for her and Zachary.

    “Is Leo willing to give daddy a chance?”“Leo will as long as mommy gives daddy a chance.”Yvonne touched Leo’s head. “Good boy.” She then noticed a gaze staring at her from behind. She turned around and saw Yosef looking at her and Leo from behind.“Yosef, when did you get here?”“Just now.” Yosef walked over. “Yvonne, let’s talk.”Yvonne nodded and went to the garden with Yosef. He helped her to sit down on the bench. “Yvonne, do you believe in destiny?”Yvonne shook her head without knowing why Yosef said so."I never believed in destiny. I always believed that hard work could make everything I wanted, but I guess I was wrong!" Yosef looked at her delicate face. "Since that thing happened, my heart has been very hesitant. I'm struggling and I didn’t dare to face you. I thought about it for so many days and watched it coldly for so many days. Today I finally mustered up the courage to come to you."Yvonne sighed. “I am sorry Yosef, it’s all my fault.”“No! It’s not your fa

    Yvonne promised Yosef that she would stay with him and also promised to forgive him but now she faced a bigger problem. After all, Ella was her sister and they have the same blood flowing in their bodies, she could not accept a man who had a relationship with her sister.Now it was not about whether she accepted Yosef or not, it was the matter whether Ella really liked Yosef. Yvonne saw how Ella looked at Yosef with a longing gaze and thinking of the child in Ella’s womb, she wanted to persuade him to accept her. Ever since their conversation that day in the hospital, Yosef avoided being alone with her and Yvonne knew that it was because he did not want Yvonne to tell him to take responsibility for Ella. Yvonne also felt bad as Yosef wasted nine years because of her and how could she persuade him to marry Ella now?As Yvonne felt hesitant, Sandra came to persuade her. “Yvonne, you should give Jackson a chance.”“You guys have been speaking on behalf of Jackson these days?

    “Do we really need to give her money to settle this?” Sandra asked. Jackson sneered. “Why should we? Just let her file the report.”“Are we really letting her do it?” Most of the people knew about the paintings, if it was further exposed, it would not look good on Jared. “Fiona knew that we wouldn’t want to cause any more trouble, that’s why she threatened us that way. If we were to be afraid of her, she would be even more extreme next time, just let her report it,” Jackson explained. “I will ask someone to take care of her in there and she will know what to do by then.”“We cannot let her run amok anymore, she deserves whatever she will be getting, just let her file the report!” Yvonne agreed to his statement as well. Evil could never win against good, if they kept on tolerating people like Fiona, she would definitely take another step further. Fiona initially planned to just threaten them once to get some money so she could live a better life, but she did not expect Yvonne

    Yvonne nodded while looking at Ella. Jared then called out to Jackson. “I’ve made too many mistakes in my life, I’ve betrayed my wife and wronged my daughters. I really hope that you won't repeat what I did. I am handing Yvonne over to you and I won’t forgive you if you dare to wrong her!” “Father, don’t worry, I will not let Yvonne down!” Jackson swore. “Yvonne, you are a good child. Father knows that you still love Jackson in your heart, so does he. It’s all my fault back then, for the sake of Leo and the child in your womb, forgive him!”“I have forgiven him!” Yvonne answered“I still have one last request...Please bury me...beside Cindy...after I die…” Jared panted as he spoke. Yvonne nodded. “Don’t worry, father!”Hearing what Yvonne said, Jared showed a smile of relief, and his last wish was granted so he had nothing to worry about anymore. He gradually said, “Cindy, I am coming!” and closed his eyes. “Father!” Yvonne and Ella exclaimed at the same time but Jared coul

    “Don’t cry, it’s over!” Yvonne patted her shoulder gently and comforted her. “This is actually a relief to her as well!” “Yeah, it is better to die if a person is alive with nothing but pain. Since she is reluctant to die, this is the best way to relieve her at the moment.”Yosef stood aside. Seeing Yvonne and Ella hugging each other crying, he felt extremely complicated. Yvonne was a righteous person and he knew that it would be impossible for him to be with her anymore. He sighed in his heart, ‘Loving each other doesn’t necessarily guarantee a good relationship!’Ella seemed to have heard Yosef’s sigh, she looked up at Yosef with teary eyes. “Brother Turner, I will not hold you back, I won’t let the child bother you.”“What nonsense is this?” Yvonne glared at Ella, the hug earlier cleared out all the barriers between the two girls. “Yosef is not a cruel person! You are my only sister and this is his only child, he will let you have the child.”Hearing what Yvonne mentioned, Yos
